Professional Movers vs DIY

When moving into your new home, there is a temptation not to call the local professional movers and instead rely on a self-haul option. Especially when moving locally, however, this is not necessarily the best decision. There are several advantages to calling the professionals at Ferree Movers, Inc. to make your move smooth and seamless.

Less Stress

Moving is a stressful event—especially if you're trying to organize a cross-country move while working or looking after children. The range of services that professional movers offer will significantly reduce your stress. From transporting items on the day of the move to full-service solutions and everything in between, Ferree Movers, Inc. helps take the pressure off.

Reduce the Chance of Breakages & Damage

Nothing beats professional moving services when it comes to preventing damage and avoiding breakages. We take every precaution to protect your belongings, giving you peace of mind while you focus on other important aspects of your move.

The safety of your items doesn’t stop with our team—the moving trucks we use are the right size and type to minimize shifting and protect your belongings in transit.

Right Packing Materials & Supplies

An experienced mover has all the right packing materials and supplies to ensure fragile items are packed correctly. Fragile items are wrapped in bubble wrap and secured in appropriate boxes. Larger pieces are wrapped in blankets or specialty materials to prevent scratches and damage.

Efficient Packing

At Ferree Movers, Inc., we pack efficiently—saving you space, time, and potentially money if pricing is calculated based on volume or square footage. Our organized checklists help streamline the process so nothing is left behind. We keep everything on schedule and help you stay focused on what matters most.

Insurance Coverage

One of the biggest advantages of hiring professional movers is insurance. While your belongings are in transit, they are covered under our insurance policies. That means no more shopping around for moving insurance—and one less thing to worry about.

Knowledge of Location

If you’re relocating long-distance or internationally, unfamiliarity with the new area can be a concern. Our team has experience across states and even borders. We offer valuable insights and logistics support to get your items delivered safely, affordably, and on time.

Tax Deductible for Work Moves

If your move is job-related, your moving expenses may be tax-deductible. While certain rules apply—such as distance, timing, and start dates—the opportunity to claim a deduction makes the cost of professional moving even more worthwhile.

Affordable & Convenient

The convenience of walking out of a house or business and letting someone else handle everything cannot be overstated. Considering the many aspects involved in moving, Ferree Movers, Inc. is an affordable and efficient solution.

Pricing varies by move type: international moves are based on weight, distance, and labor; out-of-state moves usually follow a flat hourly rate; and local moves consider several logistical factors. No matter the distance, we offer budget-conscious solutions without sacrificing quality.
